Using @mention in the planner comment box
Does Microsoft have plans to add on the planner app, under the commenting function, calling out someone, using @mention function?

The "mention" functionality is great. However, any assigned persons should always get a notification email when a comment is added. But, nobody ever needs a notification email when they comment on a task themselves.

This would be a very beneficial feature. It's hard to believe it isn't already available. I've seen users asking for this for a few years now. Development, please roll this feature out!

This is a function everyone allready use in Teams and should be a small piece of cake to solve in Planner. Would be a great help for all collaborative Planners.

Having this necessary feature will allow me to notify a user of when something needs their attention. Not sure why this doesn't work as per the teams environment.

I have multiple people collaborating on a Planner Task and not having this creates swirl and wastes peoples time because we are unable to direct comments to people specifically.

Same as Tom, we are using Planner in teams, to facilitate tasks management, but not being able to mention someone in this context is painful.

This is very important. We have been using planner in teams, and it just makes sense for conversations in cards to act like conversations in chats.
